Chinese in Africa
The Chinese are coming...to Africa

The increasing importance of Chinese investment in sub-Saharan Africa
Many of its people are not happy about it, as our briefing reports, but business is booming in Africa thanks mostly to the Chinese. Trade between the two surpassed $120 billion in 2010, and in the past two years China has given more loans to poor, mainly African countries than the World Bank. The Heritage Foundation, an American think-tank, estimates that between 2005 and 2010 about 14% of China’s investment abroad found its way to sub-Saharan Africa. This has brought increased employment and prosperity to the region, but also allegations of damage to local businesses, corruption and the hoarding of natural resources.
Ninguém duvida dos reais interesses chineses no continente africano, especialmente a região subsaariana, a mais pobre da África, servir como um imenso celeiro, já que seus solos não passaram por um processo intensivo de uso. Mas como diz o velho ditado: há males que vem para o bem, pensando em seu próprio benefício, os chineses terminam por fomentar o crescimento da região.
